Finger licking goodness here! A classic summer shrimp dish that EVERYONE will love. Serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce!
Nothing says summer like a classic shrimp boil (aka “shrimp boil”) lowland cooking), on newspaper, topped with cold beer, lemon wedges, hot sauce and Old Bay seasoning.
The key here is to find as large a pot as possible, about 8-9 qt is ideal. From there, you should be all set with your fresh ingredients — unshelled shrimp, corn, sausage, and baby potatoes, all simmered in a garlic-lemon beer broth, seasoned with Old Bay and Zatarain’s Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil (the best). kind of spice in my opinion).
When serving, simply drizzle (liberally) the buttery Old Bay goodness on top. My favorite thing here is to eat some fresh, crusty bread to soak up EVERYTHING.
